Cancer Horoscope

February 14, 2013

As you accomplish your various goals today, a lack of acknowledgment can both distress you and awaken your ire. You may long for the validation you feel only others can give you, and the disappointment you feel can cause you to feel the first pangs of disillusionment. However, satisfying your craving for recognition can be as easy as praising and rewarding yourself for all you accomplish as the day wears on. The anger you felt today when you believed that others were ignoring you will likely be replaced by a sense of fulfillment far deeper than the kind words you may receive from people around you.

The praise we give ourselves tends to overshadow the words of validation that we receive from others, even though the acknowledgement that comes from within has less of an initial impact. When we are legitimately proud of ourselves and happy with the outcome of our endeavors, we feel the full weight of our worth in an intensely visceral way. We understand that we have accomplished something wonderful on our own terms and the recognition of others becomes less important as a result. While we may not attract the attention of people in positions of authority, we can nonetheless enjoy the pleasant feelings that accompany the knowledge that we have done our best, and our efforts have provided us with a means of advancement. You will cease to feel underappreciated today when you praise yourself liberally for all you have recently achieved.
